I am really struggling today. I have had two weeks off with the kids with very little open and it's been so hard. I'm totally fed up. Everyday is Groundhog Day and the evenings are more of the same, sitting around watching repeats on TV.

I have done my best but I have no inspiration left to entertain the kids and despite the sun they have spent no more than 2 ours outside today.

I need time off to recharge. We are seeing my mum tomorrow which will help but tonight I feel snappy and frustrated.

I should be looking ahead but I feel in limbo. Anyone else?

I know how you feel

You've summed it up perfectly, this is exactly how I feel after 2 weeks off with the kids, we've spent so much time together the last year. My 5yo even said "I want to play with Daddy, we've already played with you about 500 days" 😂

Oh I'm glad I am not the only one because I feel like a shit parent today.
I regret my rule to consume no calories after 7 as I could do with some wine tonight 😂
